The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Legit Security pricing requires contacting sales, making cost comparison difficult; Sumsub the published per-verification rate is undercut by a monthly minimum of 149 or 299 dollars, so low volume businesses pay a much higher effective rate than the headline suggests.
  • They diverge on capability: Legit Security covers VibeGuard AI code scanning, Sumsub covers Document verification.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 1 September 2026.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Legit Security

  • Pricing requires contacting sales, making cost comparison difficult
  • No published pricing tiers or free tier available
  • Requires integration with existing SAST and SCA tools for full capability
  • Focused primarily on code security within development lifecycle
  • Newer entrant with less market presence than established competitors

Sumsub

  • The published per-verification rate is undercut by a monthly minimum of 149 or 299 dollars, so low volume businesses pay a much higher effective rate than the headline suggests.
  • You are billed per verification attempt in most configurations, meaning applicant drop-off and resubmissions cost money without producing a customer.
  • Pass rates and document support vary noticeably by country, and a market that works well in Europe can produce materially worse rejection rates in parts of Africa and South East Asia.
  • The AML screening tier bundles list coverage that large institutions would normally buy separately and tune, giving less control over match thresholds than a dedicated screening vendor.
  • The company originated in Russia before restructuring to a UK entity, and some financial institutions still raise that history in vendor risk review, which can slow or block procurement at conservative banks.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Legit Security: What is VibeGuard and how does it work?

VibeGuard is Legit Security's core feature that scans AI-generated code directly within IDEs like GitHub Copilot and Cursor, identifying vulnerabilities before code leaves the developer's editor.

Source
Sumsub: What does a verification actually cost?

1.35 USD on Basic and 1.85 USD on Compliance, but with 149 and 299 USD monthly minimums respectively. Below roughly 110 or 160 checks a month you are paying the minimum, not the rate.

Legit Security: What AI code assistants does Legit Security support?

Legit Security integrates with GitHub Copilot, Cursor, and Claude to scan AI-generated code for vulnerabilities.

Source
Sumsub: Do failed verifications get charged?

Attempts are generally billable, so a poor onboarding funnel raises your bill. Confirm the exact resubmission policy in your contract.

Legit Security: How does Legit Security's AI remediation feature work?

The platform uses AI to suggest specific code fixes for identified vulnerabilities and can automatically create tickets in Jira with full context for developers to review and apply.

Source
Sumsub: Does it cover business verification?

Yes, KYB with company registry lookups and beneficial owner resolution is part of the platform rather than a separate product.

Legit Security: Does Legit Security support compliance reporting?

Yes, Legit Security automates compliance automation with SBOM generation and can generate compliance reports for security and regulatory requirements.
